It is important to note that I am running Windows Vista
But this is an issue with several programs designed for Win 98, and run in
Vista's Win 98 compatibility mode, it is the compatibility mode that is the
issue not the program. Corell i can upgrade, however the other is an
independantly programmed piece of software that was finished in development
in 98, so there will most likely be no update to the software itself. I
appreciate your help, but it seems easier to me to fix Vista's compatibility
program than re-program nearly a decades worth of software, Isn't that the
purpose of Compatibility mode?
